36. Observe how all things are continually being born of change; teach yourself to see that Nature's highest happiness lies in changing the things that are, and forming new things after their kind. Whatever is, in some sense the seed of what is to emerge from it. Nothing can become a philosopher less that to imaging that seed can only be something that is planted in the earth of the womb.
-Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, Book Four
